SOLD •  12" x 9" oil painting by Niki Gulley Day 2:   TUSCANY ART TREK - Montepulciano Plein Air Painting and Photography Workshop with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams Just Sold!  On the second day of our Tuscany Art Trek, we set up our easels at a scenic overlook in Montepulciano while the photographers went exploring. The view of the valley below is gorgeous with miles of olive groves and vineyards stretching to the horizon. I chose to paint the blue-domed duomo below set amid the rolling hills and perfectly planted rows about to be harvested. In the afternoon, we visited two wineries and sampled some amazing red wines and the region's prized Vin Santo. Another fantastic day in Tuscany!
